ABOUT PRODUCTID 174
This late 19th-century crystal bonbonniere, attributed to the French Baccarat manufactory, is crafted from thick, hand-cut lead crystal. Both the body and lid are adorned with large geometric facets arranged in a precise, brilliant cut, characteristic of the era’s refined glassmaking. The transparent, cool-toned crystal features a highly polished, mirror-like surface that reflects light in striking patterns, emphasizing the craftsmanship typical of European luxury goods from this period. The piece contains no metal fittings or additional decorative elements, highlighting the purity of the material and the quality of the cut. Its construction is solid, with a perfectly fitting lid, and the overall condition is very good—free from chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.This object evokes an era when crystal cutting was synonymous with luxury and Baccarat pieces adorned the salons of Parisian bourgeoisie. The faceted surfaces recall the light-filled interiors of the Belle Époque, where candlelight and gas lamps played across crystal vessels, enhancing their clarity and technical mastery. Every aspect of the form echoes a time that valued symmetry and perfection, allowing only the finest materials to take center stage.The bonbonniere can be displayed on a classic mahogany console or a marble tabletop in the living room, where its crystalline form becomes a focal point. It pairs well with other antiques or Art Nouveau glass, as well as with minimalist modern elements—its decorative qualities are then further emphasized. It would suit a collector’s interior or an elegant dining room, serving as a vessel for fine sweets or as a sculptural accent in its own right.
